How to Make Perfect Oven Cooked Bacon
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper (for easy cleanup) or leave it unlined to collect bacon grease.
- Arrange bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don't overlap.
- If desired, sprinkle with a pinch of black pepper.
- Place the baking sheet on the center rack of the preheated oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of your bacon. Thinner bacon will require less time.
- Keep a close eye on the bacon during the last 5 minutes to prevent burning.
- Once cooked to your desired crispness, remove the bacon from the oven.
- Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.
- Blot the top of the bacon with additional paper towels if needed.
- (Optional) Store the collected bacon grease in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later use in other recipes.
